Changing Rear Discs/Pads. Tips/Advice

[James28]

I'm planning on changing my rear discs and pads today on my 182.
I'm planning on following Fubar's guide below.

http://www.cliosport.net/content/guides/fubar/rear_discs.pdf

This is the first time I've done rear discs. I've done the front a few weeks ago, and a couple of times on my non sport.

So I was just wondering, are there any tips not mentioned in the guide that people found useful?

For example, reading posts, I've read some people put locktight on the hub nut when doing it back up, is this necessary? Won't doing this make it harder if it needs doing in the future
And as for getting the old disc off, I've read once the nut is undone the disc can still be really hard to prise off, any tips for doing this without damaging anything?
Also, do you need to put copper grease on the rear of the pads?

Oh and I've got a torque wrench. I've taken note of the spacer bit you need to keep as well! Anything else?
Thanks

James

I never used loctite on the nuts. It's a while since I did mine, but you usually peen(sp) the nut once its tight anyway.

I used a nylon faced hammer to get the old discs off, they were a little stuck.

Apart from that, it's rather simple dude.

Just have a look at the spring clips on the pads before you take them off, they can be a bugger if you haven't done them before.

Ah thanks for your help. Btw what does "peen" mean

Its where you hammer the end of the nut over. It's a little old fashioned but still gets done on stuff like driveshaft nuts and such like.

The hub nuts will stay on OK if you torque them up correctly. No need for copper grease either. You have everything else covered.

Make sure you put deflector rings back on the right way or it f***s up everything

Can be a good opportunity to tidy up the callipers, whip them off and go over them with a wire grind wheel, check and clean the pistons etc.

And yep, copper grease should keep the brake squeal at bay

That was my list from when i did it. Everything was used on the list although the copper grease is not needed as a dry assemble is now the option to go for.

I am sure it is 175nm for the rear centre Hub nuts i got new one's of Fred and asked :S. Infact am 99% sure.
